Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

40 g (227 mmol) of 1-(3-allyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone are dissolved in 120 ml of toluene, and 2.17 g (5.6 mmol) of bis(benzonitrile)dichloropalladium(II) are added. The reaction mixture is heated at 120° C. overnight. Cooling to room temperature is followed by filtration through kieselguhr and removal of the solvent in vacuo. 20.9 g (95% of theory) of the title compound are obtained and are reacted without further purification in the next stage.
